The Scouting Report

On Thursday, November 26, the South Florida Bulls visit the Knights for the latest installment of the I-4 Corridor Clash. Since the rivalry was reignited in 2013, UCF has claimed both victories, including a decisive 16–0 road win a season ago. This conference showdown is not only the Knights final game in 2015—it also takes place on Thanksgiving, the only day of the year when teams use a glazed ham instead of a football.

UCF Knights

When varsity football arrived at Central Florida in 1979, it capped off a decade of drastic changes on the university's campus. In 1970, the school unveiled its new nickname for athletics: the Knights. At that time, though, UCF wasn't even UCF yet—it was still Florida Technological University, a title that was shed in 1978 to gain larger statewide appeal and minimize applications from college-aged robots.

With a new mascot and a new identity, the school's athletics program began to develop its own personality. The football team wasn't just the Knights; they were the Fighting Knights. The baseball club became the Diamond Knights, and the tennis team the Smashing Knights. It was an era marked by change and by a collective toughness among the school's teams. When it joined Conference USA in 2005, UCF athletics showed similar resolve almost immediately. The football team won conference championships in 2007 and 2010, and the women's basketball team did the same in 2009 and 2010. The 2013–14 season marked yet another chapter in the university's history, as it began competing as part of the AAC.
